First flight! ✈️
The first 777-9 airplane for @lufthansa flew ahead of certification testing. The airline is one of the 777X launch customers.
Boeing pilots Capt. Ted Grady and Capt. Jake Miller flew a three-hour, 27-minute profile over Washington and Oregon, completing a standard flight designed to test the airplane’s systems and structures.
Thank you to Lufthansa for choosing the 777X family!
